4 Asymptotic Notation f 1.1 * g f = O(g)

5 Asymptotic Notation f 0.9 * g f = Ω(g)

6 Asymptotic Notation f 0.9 * g 1.1 * g f = Θ(g)

7 Asymptotic Drowning lg(n 100 ) = 100 * lg(n) = Θ(lg(n)) lg(n 0.1 ) = 0.1 * lg(n) = Θ(lg(n)) lg5(n) = lg(n) / lg(5) = Θ(lg(n)) n lg(5) = n so n 2 < n lg(5) < n 3

9 Stirling Banishes the Evil N! ~= sqrt(2πn) * ((N/e) ^ N) Substitute in lg( N ) N/2 Reduce terms, obtain O(N)

Sorting is a problem for which we can prove a non-trivial lower bound.

Sorting is a problem for which we can prove a non-trivial lower bound. Sorting The sorting problem is defined as follows: Sorting: Given a list a with n elements possessing a total order, return a list with the same elements in non-decreasing order. Remember that total order
